    11 inch laptop strong enough to run mass effect 2/modern warfare/ 3-4 hours of battery with gaming and 7-8 hour with normal use/ under 1000 bucks

    screen definitely not comfortable for gaming but the value is pretty good for a gaming laptop.no cd/dvd/blu ray drive though

    The_Jelly NSFW? :P

    Seems like a great deal, but playing on a 11" screen just isn't the same.
     
  3. 11" way to small

    nice price though im sure it will be an extra $500 for us in ripoff britain

    if i was to replace my notebook this will definitely be it though, good battery life/price/gaming capability (size of display can be solved by the hdmi out port and i can get a usb cd drive). would be a great sub for xbox if you have a ps3 cause mass effect 2 is not on ps3 lol.
     
  5. just set up a 23 " monitor and use the vga port to use the monitor as a primary display when playing games..... then take it to go when you aren't going to be playing games. It's a plug and play system. just have a station with a usb hub, a vga cable leading to a monitor, and an ethernet cable and you should have everything necessary to game.... 30 seconds to plug in everything and you are set.

    i think everyone got too excited. as the description says... For gaming, photo editing, and HD video encoding enthusiasts, the optional Intel Core 2 Duo SU7300 processor has plenty of power for running demanding applications in the background while working on other tasks. Add on up to 8GB DDR3 1066HMz memory and an optional 500GB 7,200RPM hard drive and your multitasking maniac tendencies will be satisfied.

    without the add-ons or upgrades, i don't think it will run those games smoothly...the basic mode is < $799 USD

    just checked, upgrade to the SU7300 & 4GB of ram is $949 US, with the upgrade to 8GB RAM & 500GB 7200rpm makes the system at $1,399
     

  8. This laptop is optimal at 1366x768 resolution, play that on a 23" at 1920 x 1080 resolution and i reckon it wont look so sweet cus it will really start to strain under the pressure or it will just be blocky


    only if it has uno (Y)

    well the 949 option is enough to run games. so still <1000. definitely the base config isnt a gaming system.

    well it outputs at 720p still so the hdmi out port wont be blocky as my ps3 outputs 1280X720p and shit aint blocky on a 22 inch lol. so as long as you play it on a 720p res its the same.

    I would seriously consider trading my Macbook Pro for one of these.

    ok its still cheaper than a macbook then? lol. i have nothing else to say:facepalm:
     
  14. ^ that is definitely a selling point.
     
  15. i just got spam from alienware, this laptop with ram upgrade comes to approximately £850/$1330, pretty cheap for rip-off britian.

    but you need a mouse to play an fps dont you? so even if its portable your gona need a desk and space for your arms to flail in case you rage.
     
  16. if you know you are going to game, you must know there has to be a space ahead of time for you to set up..... if you are uncertain, a person would most likely just wait till they get home to set up shop.

    It's like saying, even though its ultra portable i can't get a killing spree going on a crowded train, standing with a shody 3G pci card.
